Guantánamo, on Capitol Hill!
Members of Congress Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and John Conyers (D-Mich.) are sponsoring a dramatic reading of the play "Guantánamo -- Honor Bound to Defend Freedom" here in Washington.
Tight, tense and boldly current, "Guantánamo" tells the gripping true stories of four British residents imprisoned at Guantánamo and paints an unforgettable portrait of America’s controversial prison. "Guantánamo" tackles one of the most significant and troubling issues of our time: the U.S. government’s arrest and imprisonment of terrorist suspects without due process.
Admission is free; photo ID is required to enter the building.
When: Thursday, April 6, at 5 p.m. Where: In the foyer of the Rayburn House Office Building (Independence Avenue and South Capitol Street SW, Capitol South Metro)
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
